Dear Sir,
Please find attached a peer review report in relation to the applicability of
StormFilter® as a stormwater improvement device under typical Australian
conditions.
It has been found that StormFilter® is likely to achieve pollution (Suspended Solids,
Total Phosphorus and Total Nitrogen) removal targets (currently required by various
Australian authorities) from typical urban runoff under Australian conditions. This
conclusion is mainly based on the test results carried out by Contech Engineered
Solutions (Contech, 2012) which demonstrated the effectiveness of the StormFilter®
in treating stormwater runoff with respect to the removal of solid and nutrient
pollutants. This twenty month long field study (during 2011-12) was conducted at the
Mitchell Community College testing site located in the Town of Mooresville, NC,
USA. Furthermore, limited test data from Australian studies and literature have been
used to reach this conclusion.
Yours sincerely,
Assoc Professor Ataur Rahman, PhD, FIE Aust
